    Welp I was able to get a “new” car. Has all the warranties so hopefully no more problems for a while. I’ll get to go home later this week. I can’t wait to play Overwatch 2 again, I miss it so much already. But I also need to grind apex BP

  • psych_nft PSYCH (@psych_nft) reported

    @Maestro_rR Thought they shut down overwatch, that might be the problem

  • Lard_Thrills Kagesauron (@Lard_Thrills) reported

    Ok **** you overwatch, tf man you can't even login into your account on another console without a number again

  • FluffyHedgey 🔞 Fluffy Hedgey 🔞 (PNG-TUBER) (@FluffyHedgey) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hey so with overwatch 2 me and ALOT of people have had an issue of low ping but really high packet loss specifically in ow2, apparantly its to do with the dodgy netcode you guys use, would it be possible to get an explanation, it makes the game nigh unplayable.

  • alnmcx alan (@alnmcx) reported

    is anyone else experiencing rubber band issues in overwatch right now?

  • ButterflyDadd ButterflyDad (@ButterflyDadd) reported

    And just so I’m covering all my bases here, this is the same issue with League, and the inverse issue with Overwatch, a game where the shooting feels bad and the heroes are overdesigned.

  • itsAlarik ~•𝘼𝙡𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙠𝙏𝙝𝙚𝘼𝙧𝙩𝙞𝙨𝙩•~ (@itsAlarik) reported

    @Bugzvii Im praying for it, i want to be able to play a duos tournament with bhands but jesus dude i cant do anything with the lag, ive been playing overwatch, lmk if u wanna play sometime 😭

  • airrodgers90 lawrence plaza (@airrodgers90) reported

    @conthecatch_ @bonniequeue Let's not pretend valorant doesn't have a garbage community and a garbage game. It's literally a worse counterstrike with overwatch like abilities. They can't even make a good ranked system. Amongst many other glaring issues.

  • Vohris_GG Vohris (@Vohris_GG) reported

    People in ranked Overwatch 2 do not like me or my Lucio 19-6 with 8K heals, and I’m still the problem 💀

  • RainyRose__ RainyRose (@RainyRose__) reported

    @TM_Twitchi i was play overwatch 2 competitive mode and my game was crash too got 5 minutes ban😭

  • SwitchdOnGames SwitchedOn Gaming (@SwitchdOnGames) reported

    @SteamDeckHQ Awww was hoping next proton release would fix the issue with Overwatch 2 :(

  • sakuraparkk Sakura (@sakuraparkk) reported

  • fuckglocks adam 🕷 (@fuckglocks) reported

    overwatch need 2 fix this blurry game bullshit

  • Lord_Al_Sorna E.G. (@Lord_Al_Sorna) reported

    @SpectralAxes @Spookeess @Arikadou Bro, if a flagship like overwatch ever fails or has problems like it had, it's almost never for a lack of funding... And it wasn't in this case either

  • creatingtabs travis (@creatingtabs) reported

    watching some of my old clips from overwatch and damn i put in work as her... moira was so much fun and so good. the only problem was when people asked me to play another healer. like i'm not a support player, i am a MOIRA player. there's a difference.

  • Dahii007 Totem cleanser 💀 (@Dahii007) reported

    What is overwatch waiting for to nerf sombra??? Literally always one in every game making the game extremely unfun. Trash broken character.

  • MrsGeekyLatina Mystic Geek (@MrsGeekyLatina) reported

    @R_OliverDV8 Oh shut up, with your damn ego. I’ve played Overwatch for 4 years. I main all those heroes minus Sigma. There are players that stream that use Orisa. Just cause you’re trash with her or someone in your team doesn’t mean she’s bad. That’s a player issue.

  • CptPakidge Nat (@CptPakidge) reported

    am i the only one having issues with overwatch 2 game chat when I join/host groups, or is it just me?

  • VoidableMouse x Voidable x (@VoidableMouse) reported

    @PlayOverwatch @BlizzardCS @Blizzard_ANZ overwatch 2 needs to be fix now not in December. My mates keep on getting disconnected with a stable internet connection and are about be completely banned and it’s ruining my game experience this shouldn’t even be a thing that’s happening

  • thecutestclub Cute Club (@thecutestclub) reported

    I’m so annoyed overwatch has server issues cuz it’s destroying my placements randomly every night

  • jvckk jvckk (@jvckk) reported

    i have streamed 24 hours of Overwatch 2 in the last 36hrs... i think im ready to admit i have a problem 🥲

  • Saltenator Salt (@Saltenator) reported

    @_Sabach Sometimes my game just crashes and tells me there is no gpu detected.. No problems on any other game besides Overwatch..

  • Brilohh Briloh (@Brilohh) reported

    Is overwatch 2 broken? I've been trying to find a quick play match for 10 minutes now...

  • Wwealex96 Alexis Texas (@Wwealex96) reported from Los Fresnos, Texas

    ******* overwatch has made my ps5 crash twice and both times it ***** me right at the end of a ranked match and I get locked out because of it. ******* bullshit. No other game has ever made my ps5 crash before. And I’ve been playing this game for a week.

  • ZomaTheKiller29 Zoma (@ZomaTheKiller29) reported

    @Abs0lut3_ Ik but, they fixed the problem that I'm having. I just wish that they would do it the same way they did it for Overwatch where if you had your account for a long time, then you wouldn't need to have a phone number requirement.

  • devilfeathers ☆ devilfeathers ☆ ENVTUBER (@devilfeathers) reported

    tried overwatch today! super fun but my ****** computer makes the game crash 😵‍💫 will play much more once i save up for my pc after a few months...
